Cub Scout Awards

The Christensen boys have been busy scouting! We just got back from pack night where Connor and TJ both received lots of awards! Grandma Sterzer came and so did Aunt Mindy! It was fun to have them there. (TJ is missing because he was in line for an activity and did not want to lose his place for another picture!)

Tanner earned his Wolf badge, a couple arrow points and a citizenship belt loop! This is his first year in cub scouts--and he loves it and works hard! He also was welcomed into the bear den, since he turns 9 this month. The tradition is to be "clawed" by a big bear claw with red face paint to resemble blood--( I know--eehh yuck--but the 9 year old boys LOVE it!) It is so fun to see him starting out in the great program of scouting. He has had a good example in his older brother Connor.

I can't believe Connor turns eleven next month and will leave Cub Scouts and enter the 11year old Boy Scout program! He is such a great little scouter! He has worked hard and earned so much during his 3 years in cubs! This month at pack night he was awarded the weblos badge, the fitness and athlete activity badges and the 'Arrow of Light' which is the highest honor in cub scouts. It is the only patch from cub scouts that can be worn on the boy scout uniform. He also earned his religious knot! We are so proud of his hard work and dedication! (You can see the yellow arrow across his forhead--and the paint on his chin and cheeks--it was all part of the ceremony--everything represented something--it was cool!)
